Salem: Akila India Samathuva Makkal Katchi (AISMK) founder R Sarathkumar on Tuesday accused both the Congress and the Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) of not having any long-term goal and blamed them for their failure to find solutions to vexing issues such as Kashmir in the country.“The Congress has promised many schemes and projects in its poll manifesto. The party ruled the country for several years and did not do anything. Nothing would change even if it is voted to power for the next five years,” he said while campaigning for AIADMK candidate K R S Saravanan from Salem constituency at Reddiyur area in the city.Describing the Secular Progressive Alliance as an ‘opportunistic’ one, he said the SPA leaders have contradictory agendas. He also slammed DMK president M K Stalin for making hatred speeches.

Sarathkumar hailed the ruling party and said the state was developing very fast compared to other states in the country. “Edappadi K Palaniswami is running a good government and he is working for the betterment of the state with the central government’s support. He has fulfilled almost all the promises he made during the assembly sessions and is working for the people’s welfare.”He also appealed the voters, particularly first-time voters, to elect only those candidates who could take the nation to growth path and ensure development.
